Instances API v4

Important

API versions 3 and below are deprecated as of March 2025. Update to the latest version to avoid disruptions.

Use the Instance API to manage instances on the LevelPlay dashboard. This API version supports the following:

Support for CRUD
Changing ad networks' application-level configurations
Adding or removing instances from waterfall groups (Supporting active AB test applications)

Requests are limited to 1 application per call.

Rate limits

The API returns a 429 HTTP status code if a request exceeds 4000 requests in a time period of 30 minutes.

Authentication Type

Bearer API authentication

Name	Description	Example
instanceId	Unique instance ID	1072562
instanceName	The instance name	Rewarded50
adUnit	The ad unit type per instance (rewardedVideo, interstitial, or banner)	banner
adFormat	rewarded, interstitial, banner or native	interstitial
networkName	The ad network the instance belongs to	adColony
appConfig1 / appConfig2	For ad source app level configs naming convention refer to this section
instanceConfig1 / instanceConfig2	For ad source naming conventions refer to this article. This should be sent for each config field
isBidder	the instance a bidder instance (true or false)	true
groups	An array of group ids, as sent in the LevelPlay Groups API	[2515, 6226]
isLive	Instance status can be active or inactive	‘false'
rate	Instance level rate (if defined)	15

Use this API to create instances for mediated ad sources. This API allows you to create multiple instances with a single API call. Keep in mind that when creating instances by using the API, you are limited to the number of instances the platform allows.

Use the "groups" parameter to determine each waterfall group to include/exclude instance. The "groups" ID value is reachable using the Mediation API.

Instances created without a ‘status' parameter set will be automatically set as ‘active'
Instances created for apps that are not live at the store will be automatically set as ‘inactive'
To create instances for mediated ad networks, refer to this article for naming convention.
Application configuration must have the same value for instances with the same ad network
For custom network instance creation, 'networkKey' parameter is required, this can be found on the network documentation

Create Instances
Create Instances

Use this API to create instances for both ironSource network and mediated ad sources. This API allows you to create multiple instances with a single API call.

Instances created without a 'status' parameter set will be automatically set as 'active'
Instances created for apps that are not live at the store will be automatically set as 'inactive'
For Mediation users - each newly created instance will be included in all of the app's mediation groups.
Each app is limited up to 10 instances per ad unit. To extend this limitation, contact support or contact your Account Manager.
To create instances for mediated ad sources, refer to this article for naming convention.
To create bidder networks, contact support or contact your Account Manager.

CPM pricing:

General

CPM Pricing allows you the control and flexibility to define expected CPM rates from ironSource's network. Read more here.
CPM pricing is available for specific accounts only. To activate CPM pricing, contact support or contact your Account Manager.
For best practices on using instances with pricing go to our Best Practices article.

Notes

In order to set global pricing for an instance, populate the instance's country field with asterisk character ‘*'.
Instances created without pricing and countries without defined pricing will be set to use optimized pricing.
Countries are defined based on 2 letter country code, as per ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2.

Update Instances
Update Instances

Use this API to update instance name, status and pricing for ironSource network and mediation ad sources (pricing is only available for ironSource network). Multiple instances can be updated with a single API call.

Max number of update calls is limited to 6 per day.
In order to activate ironSource's non default instances you must first activate ironSource's default instance (instance ID=0).
Updating instance pricing will replace all pricing values on that same instance only.
To update mediation ad source instances, refer to this article for naming convention.
To update bidder networks, contact support or reach out to your Account Manager.
To remove instance level rate, add the rate parameter with an empty string value (eg "")
